History

After a distinguished career as an engineer in the 1940s and
1950s, he was instrumental in recording the San
Francisco Sound in the late 60s and early 70s. Though he had a
chronic stutter and
more than ample girth, nothing could stop him from refining and
advancing the art of remote recording. His high-energy style
endeared him to many musical artists whose work was enhanced by his
engineering techniques.

His initial collection of recordings, from his time as an
engineer during the big
band era, formed the basis of the Hindsight Records catalogue,
acquired from Heider in 1979 by Thomas Gramuglia. Through Heider,
Hindsight ended up owning over 9,000 copyrights and masters.[1]
